Terapascal (TPa)

Dynes/Square Centimeter

The dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm²) is a unit of pressure in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It quantifies force per unit area and is commonly used in various scientific contexts. Mathematically: 1 dyn/cm² = 0.1 Pa.

Origin:

The unit is derived from the dyne, a unit of force in the CGS system, named after the Greek word "dynamis," meaning power or force. The dyne per square centimeter is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.

Terapascal

A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10¹² pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The terapascal is used to describe very high pressures, such as those found in extreme scientific research or simulations, but it is not commonly encountered in everyday applications.

Origin:

The term "terapascal" combines the SI prefix "tera-", which represents 10¹², and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "tera-" comes from the Greek word τέρας (teras), meaning "monster" or "marvel," and was adopted in 1960 to denote 10¹², or one trillion, reflecting the immense scale of the unit. The terapascal is used in contexts where pressures reach extraordinary levels, such as in certain types of high-energy physics and astrophysics.
